This pesto pasta salad is fresh, vibrant, super delicious and satisfying with the addition of the spelt pasta and white beans. There's nothing better than a salad that you can throw together in 15 minutes that is so packed with goodness. Basil has to be one of our favourites to add to almost anything, and it really gives this salad a fantastic flavour and fresh summer vibe.
